Angels Landing Full Hike - Extreme Hiking

After several hours on the road I finally made it. I'm so excited to be here. I'm going to hike the angels landing trail. I've been wanting to do this for quite some time. So I'm just gonna go ahead and change into my hiking gear and we're gonna go ahead and get started. So stay tuned this is going to be fun. All right guys so I'm ready for this adventure. I had to pay $20 to park here because the parking inside the park is full. This little parking spot is right outside the park in this little town called Springdale. So I'm taking my pre-workout getting my energy because this is going to be an intense hike. Okay so I'm inside the park now I'm on a mission to find the shuttle that is going to take me to the trailhead. A billion hours later here we are. You want to see why I want to do this trail so bad? Let me give you some information on this trail. It's going to be about 5.4 miles round trip maybe four hours and we're going to gain 1488 feet of elevation and it's rated strenuous. Since 2004, seven people have died falling from the cliffs on this route. That sounded a little scary. Should I do it? Should I change my mind? There's many other trails. No, I'm gonna do it. Let's go. I mean reading the reviews was a little scary. They say that if you're scared of heights you shouldn't do this trail because it's very narrow and well we're gonna we're about to find out why you shouldn't do it if you're scared of heights. I'm scared of a little bit but uh I think I can do it so come along with me and let's face this fear together. Angels landing 2.5 miles. All right so I'm not looking to do it fast because you know this is a trail to be cautious and enjoy but it is 11 30 a.m so I want to see how fast or not fast I can do this trail. As you can see they're doing some repairs on this trail. Let me tell you what happened to me a couple months ago. I came here and my goal was to do this trail. I've been wanting to do it for quite some time. I like the challenge. I just want to check it off my bucket list and I couldn't do it because it was closed. There was a storm a really bad storm that did a lot of damage in this area and uh this trail was closed for about two months maybe maybe a little less maybe a little more but yeah I was very disappointed because I couldn't do it that day and I ended up doing Bryce Canyon. It's also a very nice one however this is what I wanted to do so I promised to come back and here I am I'm finally here doing it well it's barely starting we'll see how this goes. If you're looking for something different something pretty something that is not too difficult I recommend you to go and check out Bryce Canyon. Click on the link above so you can see more about Bryce Canyon. All right so here we go gaining elevation let's do this. I like that the trail is paved maybe all the way maybe just the beginning I don't know but it's really nice maybe you cannot appreciate how steep it is but it's pretty steep maybe you can hear it in my breathing it is it is steep and challenging but it's not too bad so far. All right guys so I've been talking to a few people that are coming back down and it's not looking pretty good. They say that they didn't think they were afraid of heights they thought they were gonna do it and they didn't so I don't know I'm starting to doubt myself. That tree is just sitting on a rock and that's impressive. That's how you hike it. Can someone get me one of those that would be nice especially coming up going down I don't think it's going to be that difficult who knows maybe I'll be exhausted by then and I don't know we'll see. So you can see a lot of repairs going on I see a lot of little hikers so maybe it's not as crazy as they say it is I don't know a lot of little ones. Holy ---- excuse my french but the view from here you guys ah so fabulous but we're not done yet look at that. All right guys so it's now 12 23 50 minutes into the hike and we are we I made it this far already I don't know how much longer we have but I think I'm doing really good planning so let's go let's do this. Friendly reminder just in case we forgot yes don't let go because then we'll be down there yes I think you go that way all right we're doing good so far it's not done yet still more to go look at this stunning view should I keep going what do you guys say probably huh yeah I'm gonna keep going all right all right final stretch thank you let's see if I can make it all the way I guess having my sunglasses is helping because uh you know it I don't see everything as clear maybe if I see without sunglasses I'll freak out I don't know oh wow all right guys for those of you freaking out I am using both of my hands all right so let's do this final stretch final stretch if the camera moves a lot excuse me I'm trying to do my best not today today you know what the secret is don't look down because if I do I think I'm yes it feels good though it does it's great about going down yes what's behind me the views are stunning oh don't look back Alejandro keep looking forward because if not you're gonna freak out whoa okay yay we made it it's like not yet let's keep going oh my god it feels like it's never gonna end all right I'm gonna say it again let's see if this time is true final stretch yes we can do this come on all right guys all right guys here we come let's do this no it's just flat yay we're here made it to the top it's been an hour and a half for me and honestly I think I could have done it a little faster as you guys could see there was a lot of people holding up the line they were not the fastest but I think I could have done a little better but it's good an hour and a half is perfect I'm out of breath I feel like I'm going to die but hey I made it all right before I start hiking down I'm going to have my chocolate chip cookie it is 10 grams of fiber no dairy no eggs no soy ingredients no GMOs and it's vegan 16 grams of protein yes so after a good snack and a bunch of pictures later it's time to go back down so I'll see you guys down there all right so I'm coming to the end of this trail it's uh under three hours it's not even 2 30 yet and I'm already back so it's really not that hard honestly if you're a hiker you should be able to do it with no problem if you're a beginner you might struggle because it's very steep uh but honestly it's really not that bad it's a lot of fun though it's really pretty the views are impressive I mean you guys got to see the views are just amazing and I'm going to show you that view right there because that's also amazing look at that bridge oh my god stunning so yeah I recommend it is really it's not as bad as they say it is so you should do it put it on your bucket list and we're back to where we started this is how we come to the end of today's adventure if you like this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and if you haven't subscribed to my channel make sure you do it now so you don't miss out on new videos every Wednesday and Sunday all right I will see you on the next one bye there's no doubt that there's a time for everything the last time I was here I was very frustrated because I could not hike this trail but you know what I'm glad I didn't because two months ago three months ago I was 25 pounds heavier and I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much as I did today so yep there's a time and place for everything till next time
